D & G L'Imperatrice

Mostly juicy and ripe, like peach, berry or apple. Underneath that, the smell of air just after a storm, sharp and faintly metallic.

It opens on kiwi, rhuburb and pink pepper, moves through watermelon, cyclamen and jasmine, and settles on lemon tree, musk and sandalwood.

• pink pepper: light rosy pepper that sparkles rather than burns
• cyclamen: a fresh, watery green floral. The real flower has almost no scent, so this is a perfumer's construction

It lasts an average amount of time and sits close to the skin after the first hour.

Built from the note listing and the measured performance figures. We have not smelled this one.
